Usa news: US President Donald Trump has officially announced to build a sixth generation fighter aircraft. On March 21, he announced this ambitious project with Defense Minister Pete Hegseth at the Oval Office of White House. According to Trump, the name of this fighter jet will be F-47, which will be developed under the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) project.

The F-47 will replace the US Air Force F-22 raptor. The NGAD system will be a state-of-the-art network-connected platform, including stealth fighter jets, drone technology and other modern components. This project was launched in 2020, but it was stopped due to excessive cost. Now the Trump administration has decided to resume it.

NGAD project will cost more

Former US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who was in his position during the Biden administration, has said that the cost of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) project could be three times higher than the F-35 fighter jet. According to him, a NGAD fighter jet can cost up to $ 300 million.

In September 2022, the US Air Combat Command (ACC) chief General Mark D. Kelly revealed that China was already constructing a new fighter aircraft to combat the US NGAD project.

Significantly, on 26 December 2024, China unveiled its sixth generation fighter jet, named Chengdu J-36. However, so far there is not much information about the characteristics and technical abilities of this fighter jet.

F-47 Fighter Jet’s Possible Capacity

Some important features of it were revealed when the sixth generation fighter aircraft was proposed for the first time in the US. The F-47 fighter jet will be equipped with advance technology, components, electronics, and super-powerful engines.

For the design and development of this fighter jet, Boeing will currently be given $ 20 billion. According to reports, the following state-of-the-art techniques will be used in F-47-

• Broad spectrum stealth – Advanced stealth technology to protect the aircraft from radar grip.
• Next Generation Power Plants – Modern engine for greater speed and efficiency.
• Guided energy weapons – Laser and Microwave based weapon system.
• Unified electronic warfare system – Ability to interrupt enemy radar and communication systems.
• Alternative manning -Facility to operate human-manufacturing or without a pilot as per the need of the mission.
• The arrival of F-47 is likely to change a major change in America’s aerial war capacity and play an important role in the next generation of war campaigns.

Will the price of F-47 fighter jet be reduced?

General Allwin of the US Air Force says that the cost of F-47 stealth fighter developed under the NGAD program will be lower than F-22. This aircraft would be perfectly suitable for dealing with future dangers. Vijayendra’s Thakur has written in the Eurasian Times that General Allwin has described F-47 as more sustainable. This means that this time the US Air Force is trying its best to avoid the mistakes made in the construction of F-35 fighter jets. The accurate plan and stringent inspection are being followed to control the cost in the construction of F-47, so that the aircraft is also affordable with better performance.

Trying to avoid mistakes like F-35 in the development of F-47

In May 2023, US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said, “We will not repeat the mistakes that were made during the F-35 program. When the US Air Force decided to make F-35 fighter jet, Lockheed Martin was given its contract. In this project, the US Air Force was not given the right to reach all the data related to the fighter aircraft. At that time the correct conditions were not given to the US Air Force. According to, the company that developed it remained its owner during its entire lifestyle.

Kendal called it a permanent monopoly, causing the US Air Force to face many challenges. This time the US government will keep a complete monitoring in the construction of NGAD fighter jet (F-47). Boeing has been asked to share every technical data with the US Air Force. US President Donald Trump did not give any clear information about the cost and deadline of this project at the press conference. However, Trump definitely said that during his tenure, a large part of F-47 will be in the air i.e. its initial test will be done soon.

Us f-47 fighter plan: US President Donald Trump gave information about the world’s most state -of -the -art fighter jet. Trump said on Friday (21 March 2025) that the US will create a sixth generation fighter plane, which will be known as F-47. It is being told that Trump is the 47th President of America, so this aircraft was named F-47. Trump said that this aircraft will have such desires, which have never been seen before the world. He said that no aircraft will be around in terms of its speed to mobility and payload.

The most advanced, deadliest aircraft will be F-47

The US President said that this next generation fighter plane will be produced by Boeing. The F-47 will replace the world’s first fifth generation fighter jet F-22 raptor. According to a report by Business Insider, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsetha said, “F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, the most deadly aircraft.

According to the report, there was a competition between Boeing and Lockheed Martin to build this new aircraft. The US Air Force wanted an aircraft that has high range, speed and stealth that could work in the Indo Pacific sector and against some of China’s most advanced defense system. The US Next Generation is making a sixth generation aircraft through Air Dominance (NGAD). The US has developed NGAD keeping in mind China.

F-47 is already flying secretly

US President Donald Trump said that the F-47 aircraft has been in secret for the last five months. He said that we are confident that it is much better than the capabilities of another country. The new fighter jet will be included in the US Air Force in the 2030s.
